Daniel Black 93e051860a MDEV-40801 ppc64le ro_after_init isn't pagesize aligned
Align ro_after_init using MAXPAGESIZE instead of COMMONPAGESIZE.

COMMONPAGESIZE may be smaller than the actual page size supported by
the target ABI. This can leave ro_after_init sharing an OS page with
adjacent sections, causing mprotect() to change permissions on data
outside ro_after_init.

Use MAXPAGESIZE so the section boundaries are aligned to the maximum
page size required by the target linker/ABI.

This is particularly important on architectures such as ppc64le and
aarch64, where the runtime page size can differ from COMMONPAGESIZE.

Before:
  .data          0x...1b80000
  ro_after_init  0x...1c70000
  .bss           0x...1c72000

After:
  ro_after_init starts and ends on MAXPAGESIZE boundaries, ensuring
  mprotect() only affects pages belonging to ro_after_init.

Give the "ro_after_init" section a page-aligned span of its own, so that the
variables placed there (with READ_ONLY_SYSVAR tag) can be mprotect()-ed
